Richard Jenkins joins ‘Dear John’ adaptation

Richard Jenkins has signed on to star in Lasse Hallstrom’s adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks bestseller “Dear John.”

Also on board is Amanda Seyfried, who plays a young woman falling in love with a solider (Channing Tatum) while he’s on leave.

The Hollywood Reporter says Jenkins is set to play Tatum’s father. The film is currently shooting, with Hallstrom directing a screenplay by Jamie Linden.

Jenkins most recently starred in Joel and Ethan Coen’s “Burn After Reading.” He also delivered a strong performance in Thomas McCarthy’s recent drama “The Visitor.”

Final word: Yeah, Jenkins truly is a fine actor, and I can only hope to see him around on the big screen more often.
